RayEye.com - Eye on the Outdoors

“Eye on the Outdoors” goes on Safari in Tanzania, East Africa. Gary Story, Rick Story and Ray Eye hunt the famous Selous Game Reserve, one of the largest and wildest hunting areas in Africa.

As a guest of Mr. Gary Story and Mr. Rick Story, Ray Eye embarks on a life time adventure on Safari in East Africa. The journey begins on arrival to East Africa, Tanzania. Our first night is at the world famous Sea Cliff Hotel in the city of Dar es Salaam. The next day we depart by bush plane from Dar es Salaam to the Selous Game Reserve, an area larger than Switzerland, millions of remote, wild acres.

We land on a grass air strip deep in the bush and greeted by our safari crew and hundreds of local natives. Once our gear is loaded into the Safari trucks, we drive into the bush to begin our twenty- one day Safari. Our camp is on the banks of the Great Ruaha River, one of the two largest rivers in East Africa, a river full of Crocs and Hippos.

This is not a pampered Ranch hunt with hot tubs and brunch served prior to the hunt. Our lodging consists of tents with a “Bush” bathroom attached to the back of tent. Our meals are what we kill each day.

In the wilds of Africa, everyday is a new adventure hunting free roaming, “fair chase” wild animals. East Africa, Tanzania and the Selous is an extraordinary place, with exceptional, wonderful people, they are friends and family.

“As a hunter, part of me, my heart, mind and spirit will always remain in the wilds of Africa.”
